Re-isolating
Re-isolating is one of the most dangerous, yet also potentially rewarding moves in poker, particularly at the higher limits.
Changing Your Behaviour When Re-Stealing
After reading Marcus Bateman's excellent piece about when you should be re-stealing, I thought I'd look at the situations where you should be looking to change your own behavior depending on the stack sizes around you.
Attacking The Big Stack
Most players in tournaments try and avoid the big stack at the table. This is mainly because they can bust you, where as you can't bust them - which gives them a sizable psychological and practical edge over you.
Heads up SNGs - Position
The single most important concept to understand when playing heads up is position. If you do not understand the importance of position and how to use it to your advantage you will be an easy target in any heads up game.
Kick Boxing Main Event In Latest Prop Bet
Seems like it's the Prop Bet season and last year's weight loss bet with Rolande De Wolfe now seems pretty tame compared to what I have in store once the WSOP starts.
Bellagio Videos
Couple of videos below while at The Bellagio hanging out with the best DJ in the world Tiesto and the freaky magician Antonio Esfandiari!

A quick review of 2008 - Sorel Mizzi
Passing the million dollars mark in live tournament earnings, winning my first major live event and being just one river card away from winning a WSOP bracelet all meant 2008 was a pretty special year for me at the poker tables.
Collusion and soft playing in Italy
So I'm in Italy to do an interview on an Italian poker television show called "Poker Sportivo" in Bologna and there just so happens to be a 2200 Euro event 200 km away in Venice. How can I pass this up?
Day 3 Niagara - Ups and downs and pleased with a cash
I'm start off on a decent table with one good online player and Gavin Smith. I lose the first three pots I play and get down to about 170k. Then I make a really good value bet against Gavin with 88 on a 392T3 board and get paid off bringing me back up to around 220k.
Day 2 Niagara - Short-stack to top ten stack
After ending Day 1 with just 9,100 chips, I had a lot of work to do. With the blinds being 400/800 with antes, realistically, I have low expectations, but it is a fun stack to play, and I never give up! I was at a great table, with the only recognizable player being Joe Sebok who I had on my right.
